Greetings to all new readers from outside the US.
You will not be accused of trying to sway the election.
If you want to sway the election, please do some good and sway it to the libertarians.

- In the midst of all the crap on the radio and their tours, you should see Grace Potter. She sings, she plays guitar and organ, she writes, and she's really a pleasure to look at. Listen to the grind of that Hammond! Listen to that voice. I think I'm in love...
EMERGENCY - BREAKING NEWS!
Thieves in England stole over $1 million of adult toys from a delivery truck.
There has been no official word, but the rumor is that you will be arrested immediately if you hold it like a knife.
There's hope for us yet
22-year-old Ingebjørg Blindheim keeps track of people who want to kill themselves on Instagram (as opposed to those who read Instagram). She tries to provide help because she can't just sit back.
Read the story. Great successes and bad outcomes.
There are good humans out there - she is one. The only problem will come when she burns out. Therapists take frequent vacations to try to wash off some of the effects of their patients. This lady doesn't seem to.
Instagram instantly banned suicidal content, further driving it underground. I say leave it there.. people might think this is their only outlet (it isn't).
Dear lefty
- Who do I vote for in the local election?
- Whichever thief will do the least damage. Please read up on local elections first.
We recently voted for local offices.
Hint: it helps if you pay attention and have some idea of what the candidates stand for (besides getting elected). Those of us, who shall remain unnamed, but whose names rhyme with Mr and Mrs feftystrap, have to go online to a League of Women Voters site to see what and who is on the ballot. My favorite was the vote on the amendment to the state constitution. You had a choice of YES or NO. And that was the end of the entry. What the addition was is Top Secret; voters don't have a Need to Know.
They asked all candidates the same questions: what's your priority in the job, and how will you achieve this. This is the equivalent of "give us a few lines from your Vote for Me pamphlet."
What is your priority for the office?
- Well, I want world peace. But you're running for coroner...
- It's for the children.
- Eliminating gender bias - all 237 of them.
- removing "Murder She Wrote" from tv
- removing politcs from politics
- memorizing the job description
- printing re-election pamphlets with state equipment
- mandating loud hair colors in schools without raising property taxes
- Taxes. No, service. No, opiates - that's it! Opiates. They're definitely a problem. Opiates.
- Legalizing drugs. For city employees.
How will you achieve this?
- Customer service.
- by being transparent
- doing the best job I can
- my 8 year liberal arts degree will stand me in good stead
- getting up in the morning to do the job
- people can talk to me
- I visit people all around the city, one very late evening, in the next state, unannounced
- eliminating grammar from the school curriculum will save us $10 per pupil - who need dat in duh real world?
- having meetings about opiates and looking damn serious
- fundraisers for school nose rings
There are levers for straight republican and straight democrat. How do they know they're straight? And why does it matter?
I would like to suggest two more levers: NOTA (none of the above) and TTBO (throw the bums out - you automatically vote for the challenger).
So get out there and vote.
Vote wisely, vote often.
Today I identify as a small spot on your screen... a particularly persistent one, that's very difficult to get off, even with a soft cloth and water.
- Here's a fun stat I just picked up: polls show black voters are less tolerant of gays.
- Totally unrelated: Pete Buttigieg appears in new KFC commercial.
Best book title this week: Tectonics of the Nanga Purbat Syntaxis and the Western Himalaya
No thank you, I'd rather put Legos up my nose
Heroes of the Stupid
A 35 year old man in Milwaukie, OR, stood in front of La Salle Catholic College Preparatory and repeatedly said he was going to "kill people."
The school's armed guard confronted the man.
The man shouted at the guard, took off his clothes, put them back on, then walked away. He was later arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
They should probably give him additional charges for being stupid enough to be stupid in front of a school. On the other hand, he showed them he was not armed.
SJW Simpering
The term 'Anglo-Saxon' should be DROPPED from modern speech, says scholar. Scholar claims the term is used by white supremacists to refer to white British people and should be banned.
An Iowa student at a town hall grilled a politician about 'colleges shifting the financial burden to students' and further, 'what will he do about the plight of undocumented students'. What would his free college plan do about this?
AP:
The Democratic presidential race started with a record six female candidates, but only one is polling in the top tier. Is it sexism or just politics?
Google's spellchecker coughs at Pete Buttigieg. Homophobia?
